Russian north and north east, places like Norilsk, Magadan, Kamchatka.
Every time I see documentaries about places in these areas I have some unique feeling; can't really explain how is that connected with them being remote but in a strange way it is. Perhaps a combination of remoteness, coldness, postindustrial decay and people with a sort of soundless intellectualism, not sure.
Acre (Brazilian state) - Sparsely populated with a few "uncontacted" tribes.
Ascension Island
Atacama Desert
Easter Island
Ellesmere Island, Canada
Grytviken, South Georgia Island
North Sentinel Island - Culturally remote as the Sentinelese people resist contact.
Novaya Zemlya
Pitcairn Island
St. Helena
Svalbard
Tristan da Cunha
-Siberia, Russia
-Nunavut, Canada
-Antarctica
-North Korea (because they're very..."anti-social")
-Gates of the Arctic National Park, Alaska, in between Fairbanks and Barrow... not any towns over 1,000 people for many miles, but on the other hand it's one of the most beautiful places in the world
-Central Greenland
-Iceland it's in the middle of the ocean with tons of volcanos, nuff' said
-Svalbard, Islands far north of Norway
-Franz Josef Land, group of islands far north of Russia
Out of these Franz Josef land and Antarctica are the most remote. All of the others have a permanent population (except Central Greenland, but coastal Greenland does and even Gates of the Arctic has park rangers and very small towns around it).
The Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago when you're out of gas. Second place would be in the middle of a stampede of wildebeest on the veldt.
